Northampton Town Women joint-managers Josh Oldfield and Liam Williams were left frustrated with individual errors as their side lost 6-2 away to Sporting Khalsa in the FA Women’s National League Division One Midlands on Sunday.
Mia Richards and Kim Farrow scored the Cobblers’ goals as they returned to action with a defeat following a week without a fixture.
“It’s a disappointing result and it’s never nice to concede so many goals,” Williams said.
“However, there were some good things to take from the game in terms of individual performances.
“Poor decisions at certain times have cost us today, and credit to Khalsa because they were ruthless and made us pay for our mistakes.
“We have to cut out those individual errors at this level.”
The Cobblers host league rivals Leek Town in the FAWNL Plate first round as they support Play Safe Weekend next week.
“We’ll treat the game like any other,” Oldfield added.
“We know the challenge that Leek present, and we’ll make sure we’re as prepared as we possibly can be.
“We need to stop giving goals away and make sure we’re more confident in our actions.”
Next week’s fixture will kick-off at 2pm at Fernie Fields Sports Ground. Tickets are available from ntfcdirect.co.uk and on the gate. Season tickets are NOT valid for this fixture.
